Horizontal Scrolling Problem and new portals

jacquie · Horizontal Scrolling Problem and new portals

Some people have remarked that since I added the portals - the panels on the left hand side - they have needed to scroll horizontally to see all of a post, which is not very satisfactory.

I would appreciate it if you would fill in the poll so we can decide what to do about it.

It seems to be linked to screen resolution - to find out what yours is if you have Windows go to the start menu (Bottom left green button), select the control panel from the right hand list and find "Display" in the icons in the subsequent window. Double click on it and then select the "Settings" tab in the next window. It will tell you the screen resolution on that page.

I'm afraid I don't know how to find it if you are using a Mac!

How do I find out what my screen resolution is Embarassed

- then I can vote! As I said before though, scrolling doesn't inconvenience me in the least!

Looks like it says 1024 x 768 ( if I've looked in the right place! )

I run at 1280x1024 at home and at work, however I don't tend to run the browser full screen - so I end up scrolling. I usually have a number of browser windows open plus other stuff so it's easier to see what I'm doing if nothing is running full screen. Plus the fact it would look a bit too obvious running fullscreen at work Laughing

Given a choice I'd prefer the stuff in the sidebars to be either at top or bottom of forum window, it's very handy and helpful to have available though.

My screen res is 1024 x 768 and I have to scroll as well Smile

Editted to add - I am on full screen

Scrolling isnt a problem though Very Happy

If you are not running your browser with a full screen then you probably would have to scroll.

It was early when I did this poll. Please check whether you need to scroll when the browser window is on full screen.

At full screen I still need to scroll l to r (but a lot less, obviously). (1152 x 864).

Mine is set on 1024 by 768 the front page is fine everything fits but I do need to scroll left to right to read messages.

I have tried different settings and it just makes things worse

Need to scroll a bit set at 800x600 I think it said.

Not a prob though.

franney

I was on 1024x768 and had to scroll but have since changed to 1152x864 and i still have to scroll Laughing

(but not as much)
Unfortunately i can't go any smaller cos i won't be able to read my screen Laughing

Contrary to everyone else, it does bug me, sorry Embarassed

dreamcatcher

Just to add, no scrolling here at full screen on 1280x1024.

I am on 1024 x 768 and having to scroll, I do find it annoying - sorry

FatCat

I don't have to scroll. But I'm so late getting to this that it's been switched off anyhow, LOL! Very Happy

My screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and I need to scroll on all pages of thread. I wonder if the avatars were smaller would it make a difference?

It's too annoying to go back to the section up the side and to have to scroll. I'm happy with the alternative.
